Anna S
Owner
5.0

Anna S.: Hi, my name is Anna and I am the owner of Eden Valley Escape, a short-term rental, and I chose iGMS as a product in April of 2022, and I would rate them five stars. So when we started the business in April of 2022, we had no software. We listed our property with Airbnb, Vrbo, booking.com, and the multitude of platforms was a bit overwhelming, so we chose iGMS to be a consolidator of all messages, reviews, and calendars. I chose IGMS because I was looking for a consolidated platform that would help me have one place to check for my calendar, my properties, my pricing, my blocking of the calendars in various platforms, as well as a cost-efficient modality for managing all of the different platforms, as well as a software that would provide me with my own website so that for return customers, they could book directly for Eden Valley Escape. In starting with iGMS, it took less than 48 hours to set it up fully, completely with automation, and I really liked the Flex option for pricing because I am a sole proprietor owner and I wanted one price, one-stop shopping, and the FlexPass provided me that in that it's $20 a month maximum. That was worth its weight in gold as far as time, efficiency, and flexibility. In getting iGMS, I would consider, first of all, following the setup guide and making sure that you automate everything you can, get the API plugins so that you can plug into the various booking platforms and have iGMS be the central control of that. I would also recommend if you have more than one property, go with maybe the Pro version. I went with Flex because it was simple, it was easy, it was inexpensive, and it provided me top level support for what I was looking for as far as the website and pricing. And there's a human being that actually answered the phone, which is rare in these days. So I would recommend iGMS for all the reasons above.
